LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA AND THE CANADAS, PER " GREAT WEST REN," IN TWELVE AND A HALF DAYS. BRISTOL, OCT. 17.—At half-past 8 a.m. the Great Western cast anchor in the King-roads—she sailed at 4 o'clock on the evening of the 4th. Wonderful as her preceding, trips are, this is the shortest passage the Great Western, or indeed any ♦essel, has ever made. She has had upon the whole favourable winds, though she has had to contend with very heavy seas occasionally. Her outward passage was per formed in about sixteen days. She brings 126 passengers, whose names are given below ; also the abstract of her log book home. The passengers are highly gratified ; and she brings home some of higher quality than any who have be fore honoured this splendid vessel. I enclose you complete files of papers to the sth October, also others of the latest dates from Montreal and Quebec—their contents are of the utmost importance. There is every reason to believe that Lord Durham contemplates an immediate return, in consequence of the treatment he has received from the House of Lords, and more particularly from his friends-- the Ministers. In confirmation of this, you will find amongst the list of passengers Lord Arthur Lennox ( Aide • de-Camp to his Lordship, I believe), also W. H. F. Caven dish, Esq., who is the bearer of important despatches from Lord Durham. It appears there have been public meetings in Canada, where all parties join in deprecating such an event, the greatest calamity which could befall their country. The inquiry very naturally is, who is to tranquilize the Colonies ? There are other matters of great interest in the papers, which I have only time merely to extract. The citizens of Bristol congratulate each other, (as well they may,) on the honour and advantage accruing to thei r city from the continued success of their great enterprise This voyage will produce to the Company upwards of 5,0001 GREAT WESTERN STEAM SHIP.

Her outward passage was made in sixteen days. She brings 126 passengers, amongst whom are Lord Arthur Lennox and Lady, the Hon. W. H. Cavendish, Aide-de-Camp to Lord Durham, and Mr. `Wilson, the bearer of special despatches from Lord Durham. The Great Western has made a most extraordinary pas sage—for the first eight days she bad S.W. winds, but for the last three or four days it has been blowing strong from the west, and during this time she had very heavy seas to contend with. Lord Arthur and Lady Lennox proceed to town to-night, IMPORTANT FROM CANADA RESIGNATION OF LORD DURHAM. (From the New York Inquirer.) We copy from the Commercial of last evening the post script of a letter from Quebec, dated Saturday evening, the 22d inst., by which it will be perceived that the Go vernor-General has publicly announced his determination to resign as soon as official information of the late pro ceedings in the House of Lords, relative to his measures, shall have reached him. We regret that we have net space for the entire letter, which is of considerable interest, Lord Durham has undoubtedly done much to tranquillize the Canadas ; and as he became better acquainted with the character and position of the people he was appointed to govern, was preparing to effect more permanent and important good. The substitution of a stranger in his place at such a juncture cannot but be pro ductive of great embarrassment, if not of more serious evils. Whatever course his Lordship might have pursued, circumstances have clearly shown that he could not have escaped censure, since the Canadian loyalists have been abusing him for too much leniency, at the very time when a majority of his own order in England were condemning him for undue severity. HIGHLY ImPottrANT.—As I predicted, the Earl of Durham has avowed his determination to resign his admi nistration, and leave the country immediately on his re ceipt of the official proceedings of the British Parliament. This day, at half-past three o'clock, he met by appoint ment the delegates from the Lower Provinces. The Honourable Mr. Johnston, of Halifax, acted as Chairman of the Delegates, and on their behalf read th• Address. After the answer had been given to the Delegates, Lord Durham spoke to them in the most impressive manner for some ten minutes, expressing his sentiments more fully than he had done in his written answer. He thanked them for their promptness in complying with his invitation to meet him, for the purpose of consulting on the welfare of the several provinces. He was happy to find that but one sentiment prevailed—a determination never to be separated from England—the home of their fathers. His Lordship said, that amid all the perplexities which had surrounded him, he had found consolation and pleasure in looking for ward to the prospect of a settlement of the many difficul ties which presented themselves at almost every step. The calling together the Delegates from the Lower Provinces was a subject on which he had bestowed a good deal of thought, and he had entertained hopes that some plan could be adopted which would benefit each Province, and strengthen the bonds of the whole, thereby shedding a lustre on that country which of all others might be con sidered the glory of the world. His Excellency remarked that difficulties might have presented themselves in the arrangement of a union, but he assured the Delegates that his great object would have been the good of the whole, and not particularly that of the Canadas. Lord Durham then alluded to the Canadas—said they were very imperfectly known by those at home. He knew very little about them while in England. It had been his aim and the dearest object of his wishes to be able to in form her Majesty that her fine possessions in British Ame rica might be considered one of the richest gems of her do minions—that the entire population were in a perfect state of harmony and friendship, and that each party was striving which could best promote the good of the whole. At a moment when he was about to complete those plans which had been maturing, party spirit had interposed her withering hand, and blasted all his hopes for the welfare of the Canadas. He could not, he did not wish, to conceal from the gentlemen present, that the recent intellivnce from England, although not official to him, had made a very deep impression on his mind. Opposition from Lord Brougham, and from those acting with him, was no more than he might expect, but he was compelled to say that he had been put down—sacrificed by his friends!—those whose duty it was to stand forth in his defence at a period when his political enemies were using their utmost energies to destroy him. [Here his Lordship was so overcome that he had to retire to a distant part of the room. Retuning, he offered an apology, but none was needed, for every one present had partaken of the same feeling that had come over his Lordship.] He continued—lt was, he said, the duty of her Majesty's Ministers to support him in the hour of persecution, and not to join with his bitter foes in striking at his head. Deprived of all ability to do any thing for Canada, it could be of no use for him to remain longer in the country, and he should leave it as soon as he received the official account of the Parliamentary doings. It was his intention to be on his way for England by the 10th of October. He thew took an affectionate farewell of the delegates. Yesterday and to-day a large number of highly respect able persons called at the Castle, and left their names to an address praying his Excellency to remain in charge of the government at this critical juncture. MONTREAL, SEPT. 24.-1 have returned to this city, and ,; brought enunt,cy. with me the first intelligence of the determi nationili of his Excellency to relinquish the government of citement amonii\theuptit;telu exPeete3i thern grea'' " The Quebec Gazette of the 24th ult. gives the addres., presented on the preceding Saturday to Lord Durham by gentlemen composing delegations from the Lower Pro vinces. It expressed the highest respect for his Lordship and grateful approbation of his measures, and congratulated him on the dawn of improvements, hitherto unknown, in consequence of their adoption. To which address his Excellency was peasep:eased to return the following answer " It is impossible for me to express to you in language sufficiently strong the feelings of gratitude and pleasure with which I have received this address. " Representing, as you do so worthily, the three Pro vinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Ed ward Island, this proof of your confidence in me, and ap probation of the principles on which my administration has been conducted, is most gratifying to me. " I assumed the government of the North American provinces, with the predetermination to provide for th, future welfare and prosperity of them all ; never doubting that such a provision would be the best, nay the only, real security for their permanent connection with the B7itish crown. In communications which have taken place • between us, and from which I have derived equal pleasure and information, you have been fully ap prised of my views and intentions. These you have appreciated and recognised in a manner for which I can never be sufficiently grateful. I have, indeed, had a difficult and laborious duty to perform. The re sult of my endeavours, however, is one of which I need not be ashamed. In the short space of little more than three months I have seen tranquillity restored and confidence reviving. I have caused substantial justice to be ad ministered, tempered by msrcy. I have carefully examined, with a view to reformation, all the institutions of the Pro vince more immediately committed to my charge ; and I was on the point of promulgating such laws as would have afforded protection to all those great British interests which had been too long neglected. I had also, as you well know, devoted the most careful attention to all sub jects which could affect the general interests of all the Colonies, and had brought nearly to maturity the plan which I intended to submit in the first instance to the con sideration of the Provinces, and eventually of the Cabinet and Imperial Parliament. In this, I trust useful course, I have been suddenly arrested by the interference of a branch of the British Legislature ; in which the responsible ad visers of the Crown have deemed it their duty to acquiesce. Under these circumstances, I have but one step to take— to resign that authority, the exercise of which has thus been so weakened as to render it totally inadequate to the grave emergency which alone called for its existence. " Be assured, however, of this, Gentlemen, that this unexpected and abrupt termination of the official connec tion which united me with the North American Provinces, Kill not weaken, in my mind, the feelings of deep interest which I shall ever take in their fate, or render me less anxious to devote every faculty of my mind, every in fl❑ence I may possess, to the advancement of their in• terests, and to the establishment, on the most lasting foul'. dation, of their welfare and prosperity."

A very considerable falling off in the prices of fancy stocks of every description was again established yesterday, and even at the decline but little desire to invest was evinced. Delaware and Hudson Canal Company closed at a decline of 2 per cent., Mohawk Railroad Company of 2, Harlem Company and Stonington Railroad Com pany 3 per cent. on the prices of the preceding day. No sales of United States' Bank were made. One thousand dollars in Canal Fives, 1845, sold at par. The following rates of exchange are now current, viz. :—On New Or- leans, 3 to 3A-; on Mobile, 5} to 6 ; North Carolina, 3 to 4; Savannah, 1 to 5; Charleston, 11 to 2; Nashville, 5 to ; Apalachicola, 11 to 12 ; Detroit, 31 to 5 ; Michi gan, 9 to 11 ; and Cincinnati, 1:1 to 24 per cent. discount. The Bank of the United States in New York commences operations this day, when accounts with depositors will be opened ; Wednesdays and Saturdays have, we understand, been fixed on as the discount days, commencing from next Saturday. The Bzlnk commences business under the charge of Morris Robinson, Esq., as President, and Mr. Youngs and Mr. Iddings, late of the United States' Bank in Philadelphia, as cashier and assistant cashier. The lo cation of the banking-room, until the completion of the building now in progress of erection, for the accommoda tion of the Bank of the United States, is at the corner of Wall and Hanover-streets. The Charleston Cotton Market for the week ending the 21st instant, had been supplied with several small lots of the new crop, which had sold at 12i to 133 cents., and a few hundred bales sold at 10 to 123 cents. The business in Rice had slackened, and throughout the week little had been done. Exchange on London, 10 to 123 per cent. premium. From New Orleans under date of the 18th instant, we learn that a letter had been received from the President of the United States Bank, in reply to the application of the President of the New Orleans Banks for facilities and aid towards a resumption of specie payments, by affording them a medium of exchange. A meeting of the Presidents of the various Banking Institutions would at once be held to consult on the import of the communication, which in the meantime was represented as evincing every desire on the part of the United States Bank to afford the required accommodations to the New Orleans Institutions. SEPT. 28.—The depression in the Stock Market con tinues unabated, and in many descriptions a further decline again took place yesterday. Small sales of United States Bank were made at 123} ; Delaware and Hudson Canal Company at 76, and the Harlem Railroad Company at 59, a falling off of four per cent. on the latter Stock. Stonington Railroad Company rallied a little, having closed at 49. The amount of tolls collected on the New York State canals for the second week in September, shows an in crease on the amount received during the same period in 1837, of 8,429 dols., or about 20 per cent. The amount of merchandise shipped at Albany and Troy had also in creased 70 per cent., or 2,655,1001b5., and the flour and wheat brought to tide water via the canals, shows an in crease equal to 23,000b15. flour, or 125 per cent. The grain and flour market remain without any mate rial change in its general appearance ; holders of flour are firm at 9 dols. to 9,25 dols., which price, however, is only obtained for parcels for home consumption, to which the demand is confined. Corn is more firm, and sales have been made at 1,03 dols. At Baltimore, on Tuesday, flour was very heavy at 8 dols. to 8,25 dols., without sales. Good to fair red wheats were purchased for this market at 1,70 dols. to 1,80 doh. Corn, 95 to 97 cents. Oats dull at 42 cents. At Rochester, on Monday, wheat wss quoted firm at 2 dols. Advices from New Orleans of the 19th instant, state that the demand for cottons for the two days previous had been brisk, and sales had been made of 350 bales of the new crop, at 12f to 13i cents., for the northern markets. 200 hales old, ordinary to middling fair, had been taken also for the Liverpool market at 7i to 9i cents. T he receipts of new cotton for three days had been 700 bales. On the uplands of Mississippi complaints of the dry weather having materially injured the crops were prevalent.

It will be observed elsewhere, that the Bank of New Orlean s have signified their intention of resuming specie payments on the first Monday in January next. SEPT. 29.—Stocks of every description continue to de cline, and in the absence of purchasers to any extent the market is much depressed. United States Bank declined yesterday per cent. on the price of the preceding day ; Delaware and Hudson Canal Company li, Illinois State Bank I, Vic -g ksbnr g B an k 2, H larlem Railway Company cent.

The National ,Bank has declared a dividend of 4 per cent. for the last six months. Official intimation has been received at the Department of State from the Consul of the United States at Malta, under date of the 16th of February last, that from and after that period vessels coming direct from the United States would only be subjected to a quarantine of obser vation of 24 hours, instead of seven days. OCTOBER considerable improvement was realized in several descriptions, particularly Railroad Stocks, on Saturday, and the market generally was more active. United States Bank sold at 123, about the previous price. Haarlem and Mohawk Railroads went up I per cent.; Stonington Railroad, 2 per cent.; and Paterson and Haarlem _Railroads, 4 per cent. Some sales o sterling exchange, for the Liverpool packet leaving to. day, were made at 91 to 10 per cent. premium ; in an. ticipation, however, of the sailing of the Great IVesteri, on the 4th inst. but little was done. The Boston banks have declared the following divi dends for the last six months, payable on and after this day—viz., Middling Interest Bank, 4 per cent.; Atlantic 3 per cent.; Suffolk, 5 per cent.; Boston, Granite, and Merchants', 31 per cent.; City, Columbian, Eagle, Free man's, Globe, Hamilton, Market, Mechanics', New Eng land, Shoe and Leather-dealers, Shawmut, State, South, Tremont, Traders', and Union, 3 per cent.; Massachus setts, North, and Washington, 2k per cent. The Baltimore flour-market on Saturday was heavy at S dels. per barrel for Howard-street, and 8 dols. 50c. for City Mills, and it was understood sales had been made under these rates ; the waggon price of Howard-street had settled down to 7 dols. 50c. Wheat was taken for New York and Brandywine account at 1 dol. 70c. to 1 dol. 80c. for good to prime red, being a decline of 10c. to 12c. per bushel, produced by the tenour of the advices per Great Western. Corn, 92c. 95c., with sales ; oats, 38c. to 40e. At Rochester, on Wednesday, wheat sold a t 1 dol. 87f e ., a d ec li ne o f 12f c. per bushel. OCT. 2.—The favourable change noticed as having oc curred in the stock market on Saturday has been sus tained, particularly in railroad stocks, in many descriptions of which a further improvement in prices was yesterday realised. United States Bank closed 1221, which shows a small decline. The Eagle Fire Insurance Company has declared a di vidend of 8 per cent. forthe last six months, payable on the 15th instant. The Dunkirk Beacon notices a new emission of 10 dols. counterfeit bills on the Bank of Monroe, at Rochester, as follows : No. 3,63, check plate ; no letter—pay to N. Langworthy ; dated March 1, 1838, and signed Ralph Lester, cash'r ; J. M. Schermerhorn, Prest. The genuine is s;gned A.M. Schermerhorn, Prest. Oct. 3.—The Stock Market yesterday showed no ma terial change in its appearance from that of the preceding day. The United States Bank closed at 1221 ; Haarlem and Stonington Railroads each declined 1 to If pet cent. Alabama Funds, of which there appears to be a consider able amount in market, have been heavy since the receipt of the intelligence that the Banks had been unable to fix on any specific period to resume specie payments at the late C onvent i on. B ro k ers are purchasing at about 8 per cent. discount, being an advance of 2f 'per cent. en the las week's quotation. Bills on London are firm at 10 per cent premium, and in fair demand for transmission by the Grea Western. The receipt of flour and wheat arrived at the Hudson, via the canals, for the third week in September, was 40,134 barrels of flour and 0 2,175 bushels of wheat, being an increase, as compared with the same period last year, of 6,82.5 barrels of flour, and a decrease in the receipts of wheat of 29,501 bushels. Exchange at New Orleans on the 24th ult., ruled at 10 per c en t. prem i um. On New York a considerable 012 decline has been experienced, Bank checks at sight selling at 3 to 3 ? premium ; p r i vate di tto at 1 to li, and sixty day hills at 1 per cent discount to 1 per cent. premium. The receipts of new cotton for the week had been about 1,500 bales, all of which had been sold at 12ic. to laic. No change had occurred in freights. The Rochester grain market on Saturday had been very active at 1 dollar 75c. per bushel for good wheat. Flour dull at 8 dollars 50c. OFFOBER 4.---The stock market yesterday opened bemily, and sales were only effected at a very considerable decline on the prices of Tuesday. Limited sales of United States Bank were made at 122-it, about the previous Ace. Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, in which transac tions were large, closed at 734, a falling off of 14 per cent. Boston and Providence, and Paterson Railroads also de clined 1 and 14, Stonington railroad 2, and Haarlem rail road 4 per cent. Heavy sales of Alabama funds were made at 84 per cent. discount, The amount of bills on London for transmission by the Great Western being rather limited, the rate of exchange has run up to 101 to 10: 1 2 , per cent. premium, at which a fair business is doing, and with few sellers at the former rate. The comparatively early period at which bills trans mitted by this vessel come to maturity prevent many drawers of exchange based on cotton shipments from enter ing the market at present, and may partially account for any scarcity of bills which at the moment exists. The Great IVestern takes out, as nearl3%as we can learn, about 200,000 dollars in specie, chiefly in sovereigns. The last three Havre packets have also taken about 500,000 dollars. Bills on Havre ruled yesterday at sf. Inc., and on Hamburgh at 36c. to 36ie. The Mechanics' Banking Association commenced busi ness on Monday. The banking room is located in the new Merchants' Exchange opposite the branch post-office. The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice, that the whole amount of Treasury notes authorized by the Act of October 12,1837, Dollars. C. having been issued, viz.

BY THE OVERLAND FROM CiALIUTTA, JULY 18. (We have been favoured with the fc , llowing from the private correspondence of Parbury's Oriental Herald, the ensuing number of which Magazine will contain full and interesting details.) CALCUTTA, JULY 18, :838.--The aspect of affairs at the present moment is fraught with matter for serious con sideration. Whether it be the result of a concerted plan, or a purely accidental combination of events, it is certain that we are more or less threatened on all sides. To the North-west, the movements of Persia upon Herat, and the attitude of the Sovereign of Cabool, promise to bring to a speedy termination the oft mooted question of the propriety of extending our frontier to the banks of the Indus. To the South-east our new Resident, Colonel Benson, is engaged in settling the relations, friendly or unfriendly, which are hereafter to subsist between the usurper of the throne of Ara and ourselves. Along the eastward line of mountains we have the Nepaulese,who, by incursions into our territories, and the dispatch of several missions to Runjeet Sing, are mani festing a disposition to put an end to the treaty of amity which was entered into at the close of the last war. Thus, look which way we will, we behold a gathering cloud, and it seems to be admitted on all hands that we have no master spirit at the head of affairs to avert the storm, or bravely to breast it, if it bursts over our heads. Ncgociation and pre caution are the order of the day, but it is questionable whether half measures and a temporising policy will at this juncture prove of the slightest avail. An imposing and a determined attitude must be assumed at once if we wish to avoid long and expensive campaigns, and the ultimate neces sity for extending our overgrown territory. Thus much of our foreign relations in this hemisphere. Of domestic intelligence, nothing has transpired of any particular moment, if we except the public display, amongst the Europeans in Calcutta, of hostility to the trade in Coolies. It is known to a great portion of the British public, that, since the abolition of slavery in the colonies, and the proof of the defective working of the apprentice ship system became clear, the West India and Mauri tius planters have endeavoured to supply the deficiency of labour by the importation of hill-men, from the province of Bengal. There is no doubt that this commerce has been carried on for some time, and has been a source of considerable profit to all engaged in it, not excluding the crimps or duffadars—and it is equally certain that the trade would have continued uninterruptedly had not some cases of kidnapping at Calcutta—of cruel stowa,, ,, es in the slave ships—of oppression or negligence in the Australian colonies—transpired almost simultaneously with the receipt of the report of Lord Brougham's speech in March last on the motion for the immediate abolition of the apprentice ships. These circumstances infused spirit into the public Journalists, the clergy, and the philanthropists of Calcutta, and led to a great deal of writing which has terminated in a call for a public meeting, whereat it is intended to resolve on petitioning the Legislature to put an end to the traffic. Of course there has been much exaggeration and idle declamation in the Papers, but there can be no doubt that it is the duty of the Government at least to take care that laws are enacted to protect the Coolie in the place of his expatriation. The Indian authorities can, it is true, do no more of themselves than regulate the terms of emigration hence ; but they are expected to move the home authorities to step in and provide for the security of the Indian labourer at Demerara, Guiana, Etc., and for his return to his family in Bengal at the expiration of his apprenticeship or term of service. The result of the Calcutta meeting will be made known in the next overland dispatch. The Culna affair, of which the particulars are already before the public, has terminated for the present in the Ma gistrate (Mr. J. B. Ogilvy), being held to bail to take his trial at the Sessions. If it is established that the firing upon the sleeping followers of Pertaub Chund was the result of accident and misconception, rather than of the orders of Mr. Ogilvy, no ill consequences will ensue to him. CHRONICLE.—ConsoIs were buoyant in the early part of the day, and advanced to 94i buyers, but they afterwards receded to 93i. Various causes were assigned for this re action, but none of them appear to have any foundation, and render any particular allusion to them unnecessary. The setting in of the rains and the consequent produc son of much of the vegetable matter which forms the food of thousands of natives, has of course arrested for a time, the devastating progress of famine ; but a return to the horrors of the past season, must, it is feared, be looked for when the earth has drank her fill. The deserted state of numerous tracts once so fertile--the absence of labour, capital, and seed, which have (more or less) been destroyed during the famine, will throw the country back for at least two years. The sum raised for the relief of the starving people has not fallen very short of twenty thousand pounds, a sum contemptible enough if applicable to the wants of a stalwart Europe In, but abundantly liberal when the means of the contributors, and the wants of the population, are understood. One rupee, judiciously applied in the pur chase of grain will sustain a native tor one month ; conse quently 50,000 natives have been saved from starvation for four months. The news from the Straits and China is not of material interest. Piracy, once so rife in the former, has been so far subdued, that our men-of:war and their boats find but little employment. The last instance of a rencontre is re corded in the Papers. The Diana steamer, a small vessel built expressly for the service in the Straits, attacked five prahus with the aid of the Wolf's boats, and destroyed one —the rest disappeared. The intelligence from China relates exclusively to the state of the Opium Trade, which, from the uncertainty of the ultimate intentions of the Chinese Government, conti nues to he a subject of great anxiety. It was expected that recent arrivals at Calcutta would have sealed the fate of many of the rash speculators of last year, but, up to this moment, all parties appear to hold their ground. The New India Bank does not seem likely to reach ma turity. The measures taken by the other Banks to in crease their stock have produced a scarcity in the Money Market, and brought down other descriptions of stock. The advantages held out to existing Shareholders by the proposed augmentation of shares, are too great to be relin quished for uncertain gains in other establishments. People in India look anxiously for the decision of the Government in respect to the establishment of a Steam Communication with England. The absurdity of making Bombay the sole port has been clearly established, by the inconveniences which, under the temporary plan, has been experienced both at Bombay and Calcutta. At present, a steamer, all ready for sea, has to wait in Bombay harbour, until the Bengal, Madras, and Mofussil packets have been received. This disgusts the Bombay people. On the other hand, we Bengallees are subject to the annoyance of a slow post over some hundreds of miles of miserable country, and all the risks of mail robbery and the assaults of wild beasts on the dawk runners. Add to this the chance of the packets (and intending passengers) not reaching Bombay from this part of India in time for despatch by the steamer appointed to proceed to the Red Sea. Of military matters little remains to report. A small augmentation has been made to the Joudpore and Assam local legions and corps, and the drilling of the Oude bri gade proceeds with vigour. It is said that a large force, under General Duncan, will take the field after the rains, but merely with the view enabling Lord Auckland to make an imposing display on his visit to Runjeet Sing. The Bonus scheme, proposed by Mr. Stocqueler, the Army Agent to the Bengal Infantry, has received the assent of fifty-two regiments. With the exception of four, who dis sent, the rest have not sent in their replies. The following deaths are announced, viz.:— BENGAL.—William Hunter, Esq., Joint Magistrate and Deputy Collector of Ghazeepore (killed by a fall from his horse) ; at Sylhet, Lieutenant J. G.

We have received the report of a Radical Meeting held list Monday on Hartshead Moor, in Yorkshire, which we ere compelled to leave out, in consequence of the crowded state of our columns to-day. According to Mr. Feargus O'Connor's estimate of the numbers of this meeting, more than 300,000 persons attended, being (according to the same authority) " the largest meeting Yorkshire ever mw," and, of course , it " will dwell in the memory of all who itnissed it as long as memory may last !" May we venture to hazard a conjecture that, instead of Mr. O'Connor's count less myriads of men, the true total lies somewhere between s !yen and eight thousand. Seine of the speeches, we re gret to state, were not cba.tgeterised by that temperate tone and calm good sense which are essential to secure slic e !ssful results in the prosecution of a great public purpose. --- SIR D. SCOTT. —This individual, whose claims to be pensioned on the public have been - discussed to satiety in the Brighton papers, we hear, by the Brighton Gazette, has been honoured with a complimentary address signed by 1,122 inhabitant s of Br;4hton, expressing their gra tification at his return to that place, coupled with an earnest desire for tli resumption of his duties as Chairman of the Brighton Bench of Magistrate!. SUMMARY OF NEW 6 FROM INDIA] MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS Cr TEIS BAC) TIM E S.—The unfavourable nature of the intelligence from the East Indies, known early in the day, and acted upon by certain of the speculators, had the effect of causing a slight depression in the Funds. Consols left off at 93i to j for Money, and 94 to 4 for Account. India Stock, which has been receding for a short time past, left off 261 f to 262 f; Bank Stock was 9 031 to 204 i. Exchequer Bills, 68s. to 70s. premium. Foreign Securities were all heavy, and the attention of the jobbers principally directed to the other markets. Some improvement occurred in Railway Shares. Great Western were 131 to Hi; London and Birmingham, 83 to 85 ; the quarter shares, 24 to 25 ; North Midland, 2 to 3 premium; Manchester and Birmingham declined, however, to par to premium. Brighton were 2to ; Blackwall, 1 to discount; Westminster Bank, 3} to 4; and Londun Joint Stock, to 3 premium. HE RALD.—The Money Market generally continues very easy, but there is, nevertheless, a manifest degree of uneasi ness prevailing amongst the jobbers in the British securities on the Stock Exchange, as well as on the part of the public, and under the impression that Lord Durham has resigned, coupled ssith some fears about the final settlement of the boun dary question with the United States, there have been some heavy sales of Consols and the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities to-day, which have rather damped the market, and caused a reduction in the quotations. The Government Commissioners have again laid out about 10,0001. sterling in Reduced Three per Cents. to-day, on account of the Go vernment, against their annuity transactions, making altogether since the commencement of this operation a total of 50,0001. sterling. Their operation to- day caused the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities to advance temporarily to 93} ; after they closed the quotations fell to 93i- a There is an impression amongst well-informed parties that the statement of a Con temporary respecting the operations of the Bank of England in the funds yesterday is much over-rated. By the overland mail from India, via Alexandria and Mar seilles, papers and letters have been received from Madras to the 22d of July, and from Calcutta to the 19th of that month. It appears from the commercial advices that the trade of Calcutta and Bengal in general was but slowly recovering from the crisis of 1836-37 ; but though, in consequence of that crisis, the exports and imports of Calcutta had most seriously decreased, it has been ascertained that on the ave rage of a consecutive number of years the import and ex port trade of Bengal had shown a manifest improvement, which affords satisfactory evidence that, when commercial operations are not restricted by any of the untoward events which have convulsed Europe and America, Calcutta is daily acquiring that strength which its peculiar advantages so much favour its possessing, and which a regular system of steam communication with Europe would so materially foster. The shipments from Calcutta continued to bo very limited, and the money market was said to be very dull. The Union Bank of Calcutta was, however, said to be in a very prosperous condition ; and at a meeting of the proprietors on the 11th of July it was shown that the amount of the net profits was 13 per cent. on the last half-year. Tho dividend had not been formally declared ; but it was expected to be at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum only, with a view of creating a reserved fund. The operations in the exchanges at Calcutta had not been very extensive. Treasury and Bank.. post Bills were scarce. Private Bills were quoted at 2s. 2d. to 2s. 2fd. per Company's rupee Bills with Documents, 2s. 2d. ; Bank of England Post Bills, 2s. a 2s. Id. ; Trea sury Bills, 2s. ld. ; Scotch Bills, 2s. lid. a 2s. lid. ; Liver pool Bank Bills, 2s. lid. a 2s. 2d.; and U n it e d tates Bank Bills, 2s. 2id. a 2s. 2id. The heavy rains had been rather unfavourable to the crops of indigo, but the weather continued as favourable as at the above date. The crop was estimated at about one lac and twenty thousand maunds, though, if the fine weather was succeeded by more rain, it was thought that the crop would be reduced to a lac of maunds. Patna opium had advanced nominally to 1,060 rupees, and Benares to 960 ru pees per chest. MEXICAN BLOCKADE. " British Consulate, Laguna de Terminns, July 12, 1838. " Sir,—The brig Margaret, of Greenock, under your command, having anchored outside the bar of this harbour, from Trinidad, and it being your intention to load the said vessel here, as you have verbally informed rae this morning, when you exhibited your ship's papers at this office, it is in cumbent on me to inform you that an enforcementof blockade or the Mexican ports in this gulf went into effect on the 15th of April last by a French squadron, and that on the 18th of May I was officially- apprised of the blockade of this port by the Commander of the French brig Le Laurier, who intimated' to me that any vessel entering it after that date would be captured by him. You will, therefore, consider the present as warning you of the actual state of affairs respecting the blockade here ; but as the Laurier left this port on the 20th May, and as no French vessel of war has appeared off since that period, although several neutral vessels have entered the harbour, and loaded in the interval, it is a question whether or not this intimation of a blockade of the port can make it effective during the total absence of a French naval force in its vicinity. " Under these circumstances you are left to judge for yourself, as agent for those concerned in the Margaret, as to the propriety of remaining here with your vessel, or as to what measures it will be most prudent for you to adopt to provide against detention, should a French force appear off the harbour during the interval of your loading. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) " GEO. B. SHIELS, Vice-Consul. " To Capt. Neil M'Leod, British brig Mar aret."

Last evening an inquest was held at the London Hospital, on the body of Timothy Conolly, a child of five years of age, who died in that institution from the effects of severe burns he had received. It appeared that the deceased, who was the son of an Irish coal-whipper, and whose mother was dead, had been left with another child while their father went out to procure some necessaries, and its clothes having taken fire it was severely injured, and being removed to the hospital died there. It further appeared that some of the neighbours accused the father of being the cause of the accident, upon which a desperate row ensued, during which the father received several severe cuts on the bead with a poker, and had one of his eyes nearly knocked out. At pre sent he remains in the hospital in a very dangerous state. One of the witnesses who was examined had also come in for It share of what was going forward, as she was hardly able to stand, and was severely marked. The death of the child appearing to be perfectly accidental, the Jury returned a ver dict to that effect.
